Did you know that across leading startup ecosystems, approximately 21–25% of diverse founders are building in sustainability-related sectors? [1] This #EarthDay, the theme “Our Power, Our Planet” shines a light on the people driving this momentum—and the depth of innovation already underway. Driven by the fact that underrepresented communities are disproportionately impacted by climate change and related risks like hurricanes & heat waves [2] [3] [4], solving for #sustainability often aligns quite heavily with solving for #inclusivity. At BKR Capital, we see our role as helping ensure that the future of climate solutions is as diverse, resilient, and expansive as the challenges we face.
